Fall Chinook remains fair on the Salmon River! We saw lots of action near the hatchery holes these past few weeks and folks bank angling were able to land some great fish! Trolling the lower portion of the river can lead to some success, but the Salmon River also offers decent bank access below the Salmon River Hatchery in few locations. This time of year, trolling in the lower basin starts to drop off as fish move higher up into the system. Most fish are moving higher up in the system this time of year as we get further into the run. Salmon River also has a hatchery component to the run, offering a wider variety of harvest. Fish are likely moving higher up into the basin, and though there is not a ton of bank access in the upper basin there are some nice spots for opportunity!

There is no wild coho fishery on the Salmon River!
